In "Birds Singing Other Birds' Songs," "each of twelve birds can be cued and combined, appearing graphically and typographically, their songs sung by people. The piece reveals an unusual way in which sounds can be carried through writing into sound again. This process happens in literary and linguistic representation all the time, but "Birds Singing Other Birds' Songs" heightens our sense of this process."-- From Electronic Literature Collection 1
